About the Poetry

All of the poems in this blog are spirit-inspired. Every word came to me each day for a full year while in deep meditation. I simply wrote what I heard onto a pad of paper in my lap with eyes closed – meaningful, multi-stanza verses in mere minutes. I was unaware of each poem’s theme until I transcribed it later word for word. Each day brought new and wondrous discoveries about the world beyond our five physical senses, incredible wisdom, and messages of hope which I share with you in this blog. The last poems received are displayed below on this page, but the entire collection of 365+ poems are archived here in the left-hand column. You can search by topic or keyword using the search box in the upper left corner. May you find among them just the right message which speaks to your heart.

Poem #156 - For Christmas Eve

I felt a “light” and loving presence, then heard:

Good morning. We have come to guide you in a song of sorts…

A choir of angels sings on high.Glory, glory in the heavens.Oh, such praises they do bring.With great happiness they sing.For unto you is born a king.

Yes, this is a time to celebrateA most important, holy date.A day when in your world a child was born.One who some would see with scorn.

Jesus was the name they gaveTo a man who came to saveThe souls of those who felt quite lostLike ships that on the waves are tossed.

The Nazarene did leave his mark.He left a world no longer starkBut full of hope for their salvation.Eternal life he gave a nation.

But Jesus was a simple man.“What I do,” he said… “You can.”My Father lies within your mansion.With many rooms, space for expansion.

This wondrous soul he knew the story.One that’s filled with hope and glory.That to each is due a gift.Let your beliefs not cause a rift.

But know that life, it is eternal.No one is doomed to hell infernal.For within, as he so toldThere lies a treasure fine as gold:A gift that came to God’s first man-The knowledge of the Great I-Am.

So as you praise a single birthKnow that all who walk on earthHold within their very heartThe God of which you’re all a part.

This is a wonderful poem - The reference to the Nazarene - as Silver Birch refers to Jesus. I wish I could write music and put these words in a song. It is as beautiful as any Christmas carol. Love and peace to everyone.

I especially appreciate the lines, "Let your beliefs not cause a rift..." and "No one is doomed to hell infernal..." And, of course, the message of oneness is so clearly stated in the last verse..."Know that ALL who walk on earth hold within their very heart the God of which you're all a part."

What a strong and powerful message this Christmas Eve from The Council of Poets. God is within us all!
